Non-Hermitian extension of the Haldane model induced by non-reciprocal hopping by Law, Yi Khing

“…The degeneracies in the non-Hermitian framework are categorized, followed by the Chern number topological phase transi- tions. In the presence of non-Hermiticity however, there is a failure of the correspon- dence between the bulk and the boundary which is attributed to the non-Hermitian skin effect. …”
